This is almost certainly due to oplocks on the client. To prevent this either turn off oplocks on the Samba server (oplocks = no on the share definition) or use Linux, which has a kernel that natively supports oplocks. Hmmm. As you're on a SCO system I'd definitely suggest the latter. Using a system whose author shows a predilection for suing their own customers isn't a good idea...
